Fix the Problem

<

You use the analysis and troubleshooting features of vRealize Operations Manager to examine problems that put your objects in a critical state, and identify solutions. To resolve the problems, where actions exist for the object type, you select an object and an available action that is specific to the object. Or, you can open the object in the vSphere Web Client and modify the object settings to resolve the problem.

You have used the Analysis, Troubleshooting, Details, and Environment areas of the user interface to examine the critical problems that occur on your objects. To resolve those problems, you can select actions from the Actions menu, which appears in list and view menus, and various dashboard widgets.

The actions that you can select are specific to an object type, such as a virtual machine. Although you can select an action when you have selected a host system that is experiencing critical problems related to capacity and time, all but one of the actions that you can take apply to virtual machines. The action to delete unused snapshots applies to datastores.

The host system named w2-vropsqe2-009 appears in the lower pane. You see that the provisioned CPUs and memory for the host system are wasting capacity, and realize that you can free up some capacity in an attempt to resolve the capacity problem on the host system.

What to do next

To become aware of critical problems on your objects before they adversely affect the performance of other objects and your environment, create an alert definition, and optionally add actions to the alert definition recommendations.
